Rising Star: Dr Nell

He's the founder of Legendary Filmz - A Media company based in Lagos Nigeria; he's the CEO of Dr. Nell Video Labouratory; he's from Anambra state but born and bred in the coal city of Jos in Plateau state; he's the first son of six (6) children; a graduate of the Lagos State Polytechnic where he studied Business Studies; family relocation from Jos to Lagos in the year 2000 made him a Lagos resident where he picked interest in the career of Video Directing and Editing; his names are Emmanuel Chukwukadibia Asiegbu but popularly and professionally called Dr Nell.

Dr Nell chose the path of video directing out of a passion to keep quality memory of events alive after the event must have long gone. He said, "What is life without pictures? There would be no memories and nothing to remember at the end of  life events". Dr Nell started first as a cinematographer in his church then (Dominion City) in 2005 after which he hooked up with BIG Sal who mentored and tutored him in the act of Video production. He shot his first musical video in 2006 for GeeVee (then OGV) in a song titled 'my shadow' which featured Fredodido. The video didn't come out well but determination made him volunteer to shoot the video again in 2007 after which the video enjoyed a lil airplay across media houses. Its being shooting of one music video or the other ever since working with several other practitioners some of which are Adasa cookey squareball, Mr David Ayeni, Mex, Mattmax etc. TV commercials for companies isn't left out as well. Dr Nell went into film production as he shot his first movie last year titled 'One Night Stand'

Without doubt, it's being a very challenging journey for Dr Nell and one of the major challenge he has faced is the demand of an artiste for very quality video (beautiful girls, private jet, massive houses, exotic cars etc) yet with very little fund to work with.

The story and life of Dr Nell is that of 'testimonies that sound like lies', though not where he's going yet but definitely not where he used to be as God has moved him from grass to grace. Na GodWIN. Looking forward to shoot a music video, Comedy+ Magazine recommends Dr Nell, check out his work here:
